TO THE HONORABLE SHEILA K. OBERTO, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
OF THE DISTRICT COURT:
Plaintiff James Charles Johnson (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Nancy A.
Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”), through their
undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling
Order, to extend the time for Plaintiff to provide Defendant with Plaintiff’s
Settlement Letter Brief to February 21, 2017; and that Defendant shall have until
March 28, 2017, to provide a response.

1

An extension of time for plaintiff is needed. As the Court is aware,

2

Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse passed away on September 30, 2016. Due to the press

3

of the holidays and the need to find a caregiver and the required time to acclimate

4

his children to his absence to meet his professional obligations, Counsel requires

5

the additional time to prepare and file Plaintiff’s Opening Brief.

7

Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may
have had upon it or its staff.
